vintage Mexican hand-painted folk art maracas

This mid-century pair of Mexican wood maracas combines a brilliant blue ground with hand-painted figures in sombreros and touches of red, yellow, white, and green. Their simple rounded forms and richly layered painted surfaces give the pair a wonderfully graphic folk art presence on a tabletop, shelf, or wall.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. There is extensive wear, cracking, and loss to the painted finish, with surface wear and marks to the wood.
